    I don't think it means much. From this pathology site, most core specimens are yellow/white

    Note the number of cores, diameter (generally the same for each) and lengths. If there are < 5 cores, it is reasonable to specify the length of each. Stereotactic core biopsies for calcifications are often > 20 cores & specifying the length of each is neither illuminating nor practical. In this case, give a range of lengths. The character & consistency of these specimens is rather undistinguished. Most consist of irregularly white & yellow breast tissue; alternatively, some are simply yellow fat and others consist only of white tissue.
